Starec, Petr ; Procházka, Rudolf (advisor) ; Podliska, Jaroslav (referee) ; Štefan, Ivo (referee)
Petr Starec: Archaeology of Wenceslas Square in Prague This PhD thesis is a part of archaeology of public space in medieval and early modern cities. Based on the findings of long-term archaeological research of Wenceslas Square it presents an analysis of the results of research in the square and interprets the image of Wenceslas Square in its transformation from the Middle Ages to modern times. At the same time, it presents information about the geomorphology of the selected area, water conditions, older settlement forms and the communication needs of this public space. The knowledge gained also provides a probe into the everyday life of the town's inhabitants. Systematic archaeological research on Wenceslas Square is mostly associated with the construction of the subway in the central part of the square in 1967-1968. Later another great construction intervention in Wenceslas Square occurred at its lower end with the construction of the subway and Můstek metro line A station. Construction circumstances allowed archaeologists to obtain only partial information regarding issue of the Old Town medieval fortifications. Under the new circumstances after 1989 with further construction activities at the square it was possible to perform open archaeological preservation using interdisciplinary scientific...

Taibl, Pavel ; Klápště, Jan (advisor) ; Podliska, Jaroslav (referee)
Anotation The archeology of a town house in the Old Town of Prague is one of the most complex themes of medieval research. Rescue archaeological research of 1992, on the area of the parcel no. 690 in Rybná street revealed a large number of serious medieval finds and artifacts of material culture that indicate the change of the early medieval Prague settlement agglomeration of the 12th century in the legally constituted town of the Middle Ages. With the help of detailed analyzes of these archeological situations and artifacts, we are able to give insight into the everyday life of a medieval citizen in the outskirts of the city district, taking into account the previously unknown facts.

Archaeology of the town of Most (Nos. 45-47). Selected chapters
Ryšková, Anastázie ; Velímský, Tomáš (advisor) ; Podliska, Jaroslav (referee)
The aim of the master's thesis was the elaboration of the research of houses Nos. 45, 46 and 47, located in the historic area of the town of Most (in cooperation with Petra Kabeláčová). The preparation took place in two stages. In the first phase, primary data of the excavation in the 1970s had to be collected as a common basis for both works. The starting point was a comprehensive field documentation and inventory of artifacts, stored in the Oblastní muzeum a galerie v Mostě. The form of the inventory was gradually created during the inventory of material with a view to the time possibility of the assigned work. On this base, it was possible to determine the basic chronological sequence valid for research of houses Nos. 45, 46 and 47. The support was the chronological sequence created for the house No. 226. The second stage was individual. It focused on a selected thematic areas of Most archeology of the 13th to 16th centuries, on the culture of living and everyday life of the medieval city solved in connection with the research of houses Nos. 45-47. The second part of the work also showed other contextual levels, within the town of Most and the archeology of towns in the Czech lands and abroad. Keywords urban archaeology; medieval plots; housing; outbuildings; everyday life

Hollow glass of Byzantine, Islamic and Mediterranean origin in Central Europe in the 9th - 13th century
Hajňuková, Kateřina ; Tomková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Podliska, Jaroslav (referee)
The bachelor thesis is conceived as a comparative study of the findings of hollow glass of Byzantine, Islamic and Mediterranean origin from the 9th - 1st half of the 14th century from the territory of central Europe (namely Bohemia, Moravia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Austria). It includes a characterization of the finding context, the presumed provenance, and placement in a broader socio-cultural and economic context based on chronological horizons.

Selected issues in the High Medieval transformation of the Moravian-Silesian border region (evidence from archeological sources)
Zezula, Michal ; Klír, Tomáš (advisor) ; Starski, Michal J. (referee) ; Podliska, Jaroslav (referee)
Michal Zezula: Selected issues in the High Medieval transformation of the Moravian- Silesian border region (evidence from archeological sources) This study consists of three chapters and focuses on the Moravian-Silesian border region and its transformation during the High Middle Ages (in the 13th century). For most of the Early Middle Ages, this region lay on the boundary between the early Bohemian and Polish states, and after being annexed to the Přemyslid territories at the end of the 12th century it underwent fundamental changes, which are symbolized by the early emergence of institutionalized towns within the Bohemian Lands. The first chapter focuses on the Golensizi region in the Early Middle Ages, particularly on the village of Holasovice, which has attracted the attention of archeologists and historical researchers for over two centuries. Based on an assessment of older and more recent archeological discoveries and surveys, the significance of the location during the second half of the 12th century and the first half of the 13th century has been determined. Although there is at present no relevant archeological information which would provide evidence of the role played by Holasovice in the structures of the Piast state, its status as a local- level administrative centre in the Přemyslid-controlled...

Archaeology of the town of Most (Nos. 45-47). Selected chapters
Kabeláčová, Petra ; Velímský, Tomáš (advisor) ; Podliska, Jaroslav (referee)
The submitted master's thesis deals with the issue of urban archaeology, specifically on the example of Most plots No. 45-47. It is based on a summary of knowledge gained during rescue archaeological research, which took place between 1977 and 1978. An integral part is also the analysis and evaluation of material culture finds together with the ceramic inventory, which became the basis for the chronological sequence. The question of possible production activities that could be operated within the plots is further addressed based on the found artifacts. The final part thematically focuses on the progress and character of development in the plots in the 13th - 16th century, considering other contexts - within the city of Most, archaeology of cities in the Czech lands and archaeology of cities in Central Europe. Key words urban archaeology, medieval plots, housing, outbuildings, everyday life

The Development of the Physical Relief of Prague Castle in the Early Middle Ages and Its Contributio to the Study of the Beginnings of Prague Settlement Agglomeration
Herichová, Iva ; Cílek, Václav (advisor) ; Boháčová, Ivana (referee) ; Podliska, Jaroslav (referee)
The structure of the residential area, which began to develop in the eastern part of the Hradčany ridge in the 9th century, was determined by the original physical relief. Physical geography has shaped the extent and the division of the area, the network of ways and the fortification or the inner space structuring. This work offers an overview of the state of the art, of the evidence of the published sources concerning the relation between the early medieval settlement of Prague Castle and the original physical relief. The digital reconstruction presents the Hradčany ridge as an oblong, narrow spur grooved on the slopes by erosion gullies, as a site with unsuitable morphology which from the beginning of settlement required adjustments of the terrain. The original shape of the relief can be explained by the geological structure of the site which is described in detail and shown on a geological map. The data for the reconstruction are listed and shown on a map of measurement points. The later anthropogenic development of the relief in the Early Middle Ages is demonstrated on examples from three parts of the castle and the change of the whole area is represented by a model of the terrain in about AD 1200. Current findings on the development of the relief in the early medieval Prague agglomeration are...
